Chapter 937: Sword Test Stone

Under the arrangements of the Rush Primary Sword Saint Lord, the five of them entered a mid-sized manor.
The location of the manor wasn’t too secluded as there were several bustling streets in the vicinity.

“Look, it’s a sword test stone.”

At the inner part of the manor, there was a training ground.
The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess discovered a giant sword test stone.

The Sword Star City’s sword test stone wasn’t just merely a sword test stone.
It contained the mysteries of the universe’s great dao.

“It is a high-grade sword test stone.” The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord spoke.

The sword test stones were split into four grades, low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and peak grade.

Even the weakest low-grade sword test stone would need an apex sword art to leave a mark behind.
A 2nd rate apex sword art was required to leave a mark on the mid-grade sword test stone.
Top rate apex sword arts were required for high-grade sword test stones.
As for peak-grade sword test stones, they were the treasures of the universe and only supreme rate sword arts could leave a mark.

The high-grade sword test stone was covered in sword marks on the inside, but the appearance was smooth and flat.

The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord explained, “The sword test stone is mystical because it can absorb sword marks and make it a part of itself.
It allowed for the flawless outer appearance.”

“Let me try.” The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess drew her sword and slashed at the sword test stone with the Red Leaf Wander.

Clang!

There was a metallic clash as the Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess’ full-powered attack merely left a sword mark that was half an inch in depth.
Soon enough, the sword mark was absorbed into the sword test stone, as though it entered water.
From outside, the sword mark was basically invisible.

However, the sword marks on the interior part of the sword test stone was very distinct.
These sword marks were like black cracks that were seemingly going to pierce through the sword test stone.

After the Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess tested, the Shadow Stalk Sword Saint Lord had also slashed at the sword test stone.

Once he executed the slash, another faint sword mark appeared.
It was also very shallow and was just slightly more than half an inch.
However, it was still clearer than the sword mark left by the Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess.

“Heartless Sword Saint Lord, we didn’t cross moves on the Sword Saint Meet.
Let us settle who is superior on the sword test stone!” The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord proposed.

“Sure.” The Heartless Sword Saint Lord didn’t hesitate.
He unsheathed his sword and a cold light flashed across the sword test stone.

Crackle!

A sword mark cracked open on the sword test stone and it was almost four inches deep.

Once the sword mark was absorbed, there was an additional and more distinctive sword mark inside the sword test stone.

“The Heartless Sword Saint Lord is indeed incredible.” The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess was amazed.

She and the Shadow Stalk Sword Saint Lord were merely able to leave a sword mark that was around half an inch deep.
It was simply beyond comparison with the Heartless Sword Saint Lord.

“It is my turn.” The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord’s eyes burst out with radiance as he cleaved at the sword test stone.

Crack!

A sword mark cracked open on the sword test stone and it was six inches deep.
It was obviously superior to the Heartless Sword Saint Lord.

“You win.” The Heartless Sword Saint Lord didn’t have a change in expression.

“Thanks.”

While the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord was laughing, he felt a chill in his heart.
If he hadn’t exchanged sword dao with Li Fuchen, he would not be able to suppress the Heartless Sword Saint Lord.

“Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, you do it too.” The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess couldn’t help asking when she saw that Li Fuchen didn’t have the intention to make a move.

Hearing the statement, the Heartless Sword Saint Lord and the Shadow Stalk Sword Saint Lord looked at Li Fuchen too.

They didn’t really understand Li Fuchen and were naturally curious.

“Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, try it!”

In fact, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord also wanted to know the extent of Li Fuchen’s strength.
It was unfortunate that with his strength, he couldn’t bring out Li Fuchen’s limits.
He only knew that Li Fuchen was ridiculously powerful.

“Alright then.” Li Fuchen drew his sword and slashed across the air.

Clang!

The sword was sheathed.

The four of them stared intently at the sword test stone.
However, they felt strange because there were no sword marks on the sword test stone.

Crackle!

Right at this moment, the sword test stone suddenly split open and flew to both sides.

“This?”

The quartet were shocked.
What kind of strength was needed to split the high-grade sword test stone into two?!

“As expected, the human race’s innate talent to cultivate the martial dao is far superior to all races.” While the Shadow Stalk Sword Saint Lord was shocked, he was also utterly convinced.

As a member of the wind spirit race, he always thought that his sword dao talent wasn’t inferior to any of the human sword dao prodigies.
The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord and the Heartless Sword Saint Lord were superior merely because they started cultivating earlier than him and had an early contact with sword dao.
If he was on the same starting line as everyone, it was hard to say who would be superior or inferior.

However, after witnessing Li Fuchen’s true strength, the Shadow Stalk Sword Saint Lord understood that he wasn’t going to catch up with Li Fuchen in this lifetime.
It wasn’t words of despair, it was just a deep intuition.

…

Not far away, in another manor.

The Primordial Sword Saint Lord took a deep breath and slashed at the high-grade sword test stone.

Crackle!

A sword mark that was several feet in deep appeared and nearly penetrated through the sword test stone.

“In legends, there are sword dao saint lords that can split the high-grade sword test stone apart.
I wonder if it is true?”

The Primordial Sword Saint Lord was very suspicious about this legend.

…

The Sword Star City was one of the most flourishing universe cities in the entire Tiger Imperial Star Domain, or even the Twin Horn Galaxy.
The restaurants here were extremely famous.

Misty Rain Restaurant was one of the top ten restaurants in Sword Star City.

“Come, let’s enter.
Everyone says that the Misty Rain Restaurant’s Misty Rain Wine is one of the top 100 wines in the Twin Horn Galaxy.
We must try it today.”

“The Misty Rain Wine has four grades.
The low-grade Misty Rain Wine cost 3000 peak-grade spirit stones, the mid-grade cost 50,000 peak-grade spirit stones, and the high-grade cost 500,000 peak-grade spirit stones.
I wonder which grade is Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord going to treat us with?”

“Naturally the mid-grade Misty Rain Wine.”

The entrance of the Misty Rain Restaurant was like a constantly flowing river.
Loud voices could be heard and it was extremely lively.

Many of the unparalleled sword dao saint lords were here because of the Misty Rain Wine’s fame and were here just to taste it.

The group of unparalleled sword dao saint lords earlier were all famed individuals.
Especially the sword dao saint lord called Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord.
He was very powerful and after arriving at the Sword Star City for one week, he had already defeated 29 unparalleled sword dao saint lords.

“Of the top 100 wines in Twin Horn Galaxy, the Sword Star City possessed eight and the Misty Rain Wine is one of them.
If we don’t have a taste of the Misty Rain Wine, we will be making this trip a vain trap.
I shall treat everyone this time, please drink as you please.”

10,000 years ago, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord visited the Misty Rain Restaurant too.
However, he only drank the low-grade Misty Rain Wine previously, but he could never forget the taste.

“Aren’t you afraid that we will drink so much that you go broke?” The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess laughed.

The Heartless Sword Saint Lord said, “The Misty Rain Wine’s liquor content is intense.
It is the same as a regular person drinking strong wine.
Drinking one catty of wine is already astonishing.
With our wine capacity, we can only drink 100 catties of low-grade Misty Rain Wine or 5 catties of mid-grade Misty Rain Wine.
As for high-grade Misty Rain Wine, it will be incredible if we can drink 1 catty of it.”

One bottle or one flask of wine came in 1 catty.

“I see.
But I don’t believe that five catties of mid-grade Misty Rain Wine can make me drunk.”

The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess wasn’t convinced.
In the Divine Leaf City, she had drank wine that was worth a few tens of thousands of peak-grade spirit stones.
If she was to drink without restraint, it wouldn’t be any problem even if she drank over 10 catties.

“If you can make me broke from drinking, then I shall admit defeat.” The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord led the group and entered the Misty Rain Restaurant.

The Misty Rain Restaurant had 10 floors.
The 10th floor was only used to serve heaven lords.
The 7th to 9th floors were used to serve unparalleled saint lords.

Of course, if anyone was thick-skinned enough to go up, no one would stop them.
However, they would be ridiculed and humiliated.

As the 9th floor was already full, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord and the group sat at a window seat on the 8th floor.

“Waiter, bring us 25 flasks of mid-grade Misty Rain Wine and some dishes.”

The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord was rather generous.
25 flasks of mid-grade Misty Rain Wine would cost over 1 million peak-grade spirit stones.
Along with the dishes, the total cost would be close to 2 million peak-grade spirit stones.

“Alright, please wait for a moment.” The waiter rushed downstairs.

“Did you hear? Another formidable individual appeared in the Sword Star City.
He is called the Extreme Star Sword Saint Lord.
Just this morning, he defeated the Sun Moon Sword Saint Lord in a single sword.

“That is indeed formidable.
The Sun Moon Sword Saint Lord is already qualified to enter the 5th ring of the Sword Pool to cultivate.”

The 8th floor had dozens of tables and one of them had a few unparalleled sword dao saint lords that were slightly drunk.
Therefore, they were speaking rather loudly.

“Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord, it seems like you have another rival.
The Extreme Star Sword Saint Lord seems rather formidable.”

The Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord’s table was also in discussion.

The Sword Pool was a place where the cultivation effects were better when the ring number got smaller.
Of course, the smaller the ring, the smaller the capacity too.

The 2nd ring of the Sword Pool could only fit 10 individuals.
The 3rd ring could fit 20 individuals to cultivate within.
The Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord’s target this year was to enter the 2nd ring of the Sword Pool.
As for the 1st ring, he would contest if it was possible.
If he couldn’t, then he wouldn’t force it.
After all, those who could enter the 1st ring of the Sword Pool were heaven-defying sword dao saint lords.
They might not be able to defeat heaven lords now, but in a short period of time, they would have the strength to suppress regular heaven lords.

“Having a rival would make it more meaningful.” The Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord had an indifferent expression but confident eyes.
